Third-party reviews

What we like about Bauknecht W8 W6400 A

  • The 9 kg drum takes a big weekly load in one go.
  • Spin speed selection lets you choose how dry clothes come out.
  • The self-standing design needs no built-in space.
  • Baby Care and Anti-Allergy cycles suit family laundry.
  • Its 59.5 cm width keeps the footprint modest.
  • The time remaining indicator shows how long the wash has left.

What we don't like about Bauknecht W8 W6400 A

  • Each cycle uses 50 L of water, which adds up over a week.
  • Spin noise of 76 dB is loud in a quiet home.
  • Even the fastest cycle takes 30 min.
  • At 60.5 cm deep it needs a full-depth space.
  • At 68.5 kg it is heavy to move.

Verdict

The 9 kg drum is the main reason to pick the Bauknecht W9 S6300 A. It is a black, self-standing front-loader that is 59.5 cm wide. The spin speed can be chosen, so you decide how dry the load comes out. There are 16 programs, including Baby Care and Anti-Allergy cycles. The anti-stain function helps with everyday marks, and the wool cycle handles knitwear. The ECO cycle takes 225 min, which is slow but kind to energy. The fastest cycle takes 30 min, and the time remaining indicator helps you plan. The trade-offs are water and noise: 50 L per cycle, and 76 dB on the spin. It suits a family that does a big weekly load and does not rush.
